Enigma Industries releases version 2.0 of EDTSim, the companys robotic drive train development software.

Anaheim, CA -- Enigma Industries has released version 2.0 of EDTSim, Electric Drive Train Simulator, its robotic drive train development software for the competitive robotics community.

EDTSim was developed for the fast growing competitive robotics community, BattleBots, RobotWars, Techno Games, FIRST Robotics and robot sumo type competitions. 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) modeling software if commonly used to design the physical layout of a robots drive train, EDTSim is the first CAD software for designing the electrical system of a robots drive train. Motors, batteries, gear ratio and wheel size are entered into the EDTSim software; EDTSim then provides useful information on how the drive train will perform, Run time, pushing force, stall current are calculated and displayed for the user. Once all the appropriate information has been entered a 3D test drive simulation is run, where the user can drive on a virtual test track to see how the drive train will handle. There are motor and battery editors included which allow users to add new motors and batteries based on manufacturer specifications or test data.
